BTI lying unused in health offices

A large volume of BTI bacteria imported from Cuba has now expired say reports.

A large amount of the 10,000 liters of the bacteria liquid that could destroy mosquito larva imported from Cuba in 2010 is lying in divisional health offices without being used says a spokesman for health trade unions.

Several stocks of the bacteria have expired in July said the spokesman and pointed out the bacteria is lying without being used as they were not issued to schools, community organizations which actively participate in dengue eradication but had been issued to other sections.
